Kyle has been doing lots of practice welding lately.
He was working on his welds to join
two square pipes together.
But then his boss gave him a task.
His boss bought a "new" dump truck.
But the bed is too tall.
His tractor can't lift a bucket of dirt
over the sides.
So they decided to shorten the sides.
Kyle drove the truck to our house
and spent several days removing the
wood sides and then cutting down all the
steel supports.
Then he had to cut the rear doors in half.
Cut off the giant bumper thing on the back.
And weld a bunch of stuff back together.
He has been working hard.
He still needs to cut back the roller
thingie at the front.
It hangs right in the way
and they are afraid when people climb
in and out they will knock their heads.
But it's getting there.
His welds look really good!
Good to get some practical practice.
